7.43: Let 
denote the random variable for height and 
for the sample mean. Then if 
is the mean of
So the probability that the difference between the sample and population means does not exceed 0.5 inch is
per the empirical or 68/95/99.7 rule.
7.44: For a sample of size <em>n</em>, the sample standard deviation would be 
. We want to find <em>n</em> such that
Comparing to the equation from the previous part, this means we would need
so a sample of at least 157 men would be sufficient.
Answer: B seems to be the correct one
Answer:
$64
Step-by-step explanation:
After using a 25% discount coupon, they paid 48 for the video game.
It means, <em>which number, decreased by 25%, would give us 48?</em>
<em />
First, 25% to decimal is:
25/100 = 0.25
Now, if we let the original price be "x", we can say:
x decreased by 0.25 of x would give us 48
Translating this to algebraic equation gives us:
x - 0.25x = 48
Now, we solve this:
If they paid full price, the video game would cost $64

Answer:
11 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say that w = width of the rectangle, to start. If the length of the rectangle is 3 meters greater than 2 times the width, the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 + 2w.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 2 * length of rectangle + 2 * width of the rectangle. With the perimeter being equal to 30 and width being w and length being 2w+3:
The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(w) + 2(2w+3) = 30.
We first need to find out w first, which will give us the width of the rectangle. Taking it step by step, we get:
2w + 4w + 6 = 30
6w + 6= 30
6w = 24 which is done by subtracting both sides by 6 to put the variables on one side and the values on the other side
w = 4 which is done by dividing 6 on both sides
Ultimately, this gets width to be 4 meters. Now that we found the width, we need to plug w = 4 into the equation we set up for length which is 2w+3.
That being said, the ANSWER is:
length of rectangle = 2(4)+3 = 11 meters
Hope this helps! :)
